This package provides the basic essentials perfect for a first time introduction to Daytime Solar Observing, while also including the newest technology for fine tuning, a True Doppler Pressure Tuner, allowing basic research of the Sun’s disk and surface details.

Product Description

Lunt Solars' LS60/Ha (Hydrogen-alpha) series are complete Solar Telescopes. The refractor based systems have a precision aligned singlet chromatical lens with a 60mm aperture. The front singlet lens reduces by half the stray light of an achromat , fully eliminating the possibility for on-axis coma, astigmatism, or de-centering aberrations and provides, with the matched collimation lens set, a full spherically corrected flat-field Solar Telescope. The focal length of 500mm provides a ~4.5 mm image thru a required blocking filter. Fine adjustment is achieved with a silky smooth precision Starlight Feathertouch focuser with 10:1 reduction. An internal etalon with Doppler pressure tuning adjustment allows for a <0.75 Angstrom bandpass.

As the Sun enters Solar Maximum over the next few years, the excitement of viewing our Star thru a dedicated Solar telescope is sure to provide many many hours of visual or imaging enjoyment and educational insights.This versatile package is fully upgradeable at anytime without ever needing to go back to the factory. As the Sun becomes increasingly more active, you will appreciate that the instrument can grow right along with it.This package provides the basic essentials perfect for a first time introduction to Daytime Solar Observing, while also including the newest technology for fine tuning, a True Doppler Pressure Tuner, allowing basic research of the Sun’s disk and surface details.

Review by: Paul

I recently purchased a Lunt LS60T PT B1200 w/ Feather Touch Focuser because I had heard so many good things about the Lunt scopes and I wanted the best I could get in the 60mm line. I had to wait a few weeks for the Lunt Zoom lens since it was on backorder, but it rained the whole time I was waiting, so it turned out fine. Anyways, I've had several opportunities to try out my new scope now that the weather is clearing up, and I am just amazed at the quality of this hydrogen-alpha scope! Everything about it shows excellent craftsmanship and works flawlessly. The sun looks amazing through this thing! I want to thank the folks at Woodland Hills Camera for helping me with my purchase.
